OK, I'm glad I'm not seeing things. What you describe is exactly what I'm seeing. The rush now comes from the outside primarily and DTs aren't doing the crazy instant whip/rip through the OL that they were before. I don't use the phrase game-breaker, but the way they messed that part of the game up at release was nearly a game-breaker for me.

Now the rush feels much more natural.

Have you or anyone else noticed "coverage" DBs and LBs making more plays on the ball on their own? I am seeing increased interception numbers because these guys are attacking the ball in the air in ways they didn't use to. It's pretty cool to see the ballhawks at work now, but I'm going to have to adjust sliders to account for the change.

I completely understand. The DT's getting all of the pass rush frustrated me so much and was the main tendency that made me take a break from the game until a week before the patch dropped.

And I've noticed my DB's at Miami, who are balanced and coverage are breaking on the ball a lot more than the DB's I have at Baylor that are all Hard Hitters except like on CB who is balanced. It's nice to see players playing to their tendencies so much. Now if EA could implement more tendencies like Madden did, then the gameplay would be amazing.

After many games I've come to one conclusion: this patch sucks. Just awful..***ined an already screwed up game. Way to go EA...waited forever for this to drop and now this game is near unplayable with it. Only way to even get some semblance of normalcy is to jack up the speed threshold to 100... very disappointed and yet again another waste of money. i LOVE football, and this game is so disappointing...

damn mk, if you're giving up on the game, I'm not sure there is any hope for it barring some kind of miracle quick fix via tuner next week.

I feel 180 degree different then you do. It never fails, with every single patch that is put out for every game, a certain percentage will think that it exponentially improves the game, and a certain percentage will think that it is a game destroyer.

I'm glad that I am in the former camp.

I'm with you here. The patch has actually made the game playable again. Yea the new bugs it brought are big, but they are nowhere near as big as the tendencies bug and the awful gameplay we had before, in my opinion at least.

Funny you should mention Miami. The game I just played with them was the one where I really could see those DB tendencies showing themselves in game-changing ways. Those guys are hawks. That defense as a whole is a blast to play with actually.

And MK, I hate to hear that your experience has been soured. Varsity probably is a dead duck at this point, but AA is pretty good still.

Game crashed during coaching carousel; I guess Hawai'i took it personal when I declined its job offer.

I don't want to take your quote out of context, but if you just read those two sentences, you can't help but laugh.

plug a few holes only to open up a few others...LOL!

Yea, if you read just what you quoted, it is pretty funny, but I think you know what I mean. My biggest issues with the game were the tendencies bug, coaches progressing too quickly, and schedules screwing up with custom conferences. EA fixed all 3 of those and introduced the no huddle glitch and the custom playbooks glitch. I will take the two bugs we have now with the solid gameplay over what we had before the patch any day of the week.

I'm not saying give EA credit for fixing gameplay because I believe EA deserves no credit right now, but I am saying the game is better after this patch than it was before it in my eyes.

Man never thought I would hear this from you..lol..if you don't mind me asking what is it exactly about the patch that screws the game up..I myself havent downloaded it yet as I am on the fence about it..

**tpeserik** · 09-11-2011, 03:37 PM

Somebody was looking to download the patch offline. Usually xbuc.com has them. I'm going to stick it on a USB so I can easily delete it if I don't like it. Has anyone tried using custom playbooks in RTG yet? Pre-patch they didn't work, caused the game to freeze. I'm away from my xbox until tonight, just would like to know if anyone has tried that yet.

Agreed.

I'm seeing some people give up on the game now, but I've come back to it after going back to '11. I'm having a blast with it right now.
